A busy week in the lead up to Christmas

This week in Swallow class, we have busy with lots of fun and exciting work.

In English, we have been working on different Christmas adverts such as: Sainsbury’s, 2018; John Lewis ,2018 and Sainsbury’s 2016. We also wrote our Journey stories up in neat. After we had written up are stories in neat, we made covers for our stories.

In P.E, we have been doing Tag Rugby with Mr Griffiths and Cricket with Mr Bobbin. When we did the Cricket with Mr Bobbin, we were number 1 – 23 then when our number was called we went up to bat. Everyone else was fielding except for the batter and wiki.

In Maths, we have been working on cubes and cube nets. Thursday, we had to decide which nets would, or would not, work. Then we had a go at making different types cubes from different nets.

This week in art we have painted our wise men. After the clay had dried, we painted them in bright colours to make them stand out. We also glazed them so they would be shiny it also means they are less likely to brake with an extra layer.

In P.S.H.E, we have been working on being kind and how words can damage someone’s insides. The lesson included: being rude to an Apple and being nice to another Apple. We then cut them open to look on the inside. The apple we were rude to was moldy and squidgy, but the Apple we were nice to was fresh.

We have also had our Christmas lunch on Thursday. It was really nice – I hope it will be this delicious every year.

Today, we also had a very special visitor – Ryan Crouch! He is a British Paralympic swimmer who got through to the finals of Men’s swimming in Rio. He came to our school on Friday to give an assembly on what he does; he also took each class for half an hour to talk to us about his training.
